# That as well
I don't think many genuinely lovely people become CEO of major multinational companies. He did seem to have his good sides, too, and I don't think anyone could argue how successful it all was. Still, it's interesting to compare the amount of money that Bill Gates (devil incarnate, worst man in computing ever blah blah blah blah blah) and Microsoft (devil incarnate, worst company in computing ever blah blah blah blah blah) have thrown at charities compared with Jobs and Apple.

# as evil as bill is, I'm sure he'd be more fun to talk to
:)

edit: especially as he's still breathing and wouldn't need some kind of lightning powered frankenstein app for that.

# it'd take more than stuffing his corpse with LIDL meat and a bit of necromancy to make that feasible, indeed.

# Thinking about it
someone's probably built an App and stuffed it full of Jobs quotes. You could just put an iPhone in his jacket and talk to that. It might not seem like he's listening to you but by repute that wouldn't be a surprise.

# In terms of altruism, Bill Gates has given more back.
Apple are notoriously uncharitable, despite their wealth. Jobs also.

# I might even phrase it "Apple are defiantly uncharitable"
or "Apple are unapologetically uncharitable".
